Revision as of 17:09, 17 July 2011

make outline of how things fit into the compartments

enlarge hole for video camera so that there is not plastics in the field of view

mount canon camera to faceplate

X prepare new Y adapter (done, although the pins have to be bent a bit for safe contact!)

assemble the antenna for GPRS

antenna for video

Best thing it to just have the transmitter and the antenna inside one of the compartments

assemble GPRS GPS tracking system (details only known to Brian etc.)

assemble/mount phone

connect blinking circuit to the three position lights

have Mark have a look at the circuit

mount battery holders

Finding about blinking circuit: It is just switching on/off two fully charged AA cells and is certainly not the best way to do it. All three LEDs on the payload are connected in parallel.

isolate intervalometer electrically

maybe buy Kapton tape(?)

buy velcro for mounting electronics in box

buy helium tank

mount video equipment

mount 12V power supply

fix the position of the video camera (needs to get into launch checklist!)
